COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Three dimensions

Purple Pete

A new plague for Duckberg. Purple Pete, supervillain.
Here are some 'Purple Pete' drawing process bits. BTW, I was asked about Pete's backstory. Actually, he runs an ice-cream truck fleet which is a disguise for his gadgets-on-wheels service, serving fellow villians.

Vorbote

Back cover of the book 'Cause Life Is Serious Enough!' and a sort of forerunner or herald/harbinger of things to come ;-)

Yellow cartoon hand glove hat

The trick is to prepare a cartoon duck for its job at the earliest opportunity. It is impossible to start enthusing young ducks too early.

Algorithms are merciless

Or, when the parody "outdoes" the original. The other day, Mesolithic Mouse took over Mickey Mouse's hashtag. At least on Instagram, for about 24 hours. I noticed that only because the stats went through the roof.
